How to box in pipes Pipe box in with MDF PLYWOOD PLASTERBOARD drywall 

What a great video! No waffle, clear and concise, can see exactly what you are doing. You've given me the confidence to do this now, thank you!

excellent video - no stupid stuff, no silly stories - straight to the point - good job

thank you for this. This is absolutely the best video on RU-vid for a boxing in pipes.

Super Video No faffing about just pure and simple no nonsense instructions Well Done.

This is the best ever boxing of pipes video on YT. Believe me, I have checked!

Absolutely everything I needed to know to get me started on this weekend's bathroom challenge. Thanks.

No extra rubbish, just a proper explanation - thank you. Birdy

Great video. I was thinking how I would tackle this on an upcoming project and not what I thought! So easy. Would never have thought of putting baton on back of a vertical plasterboard as opposed to building a complete frame first.

Great channel! 💯 No messing, always straight forward, very clear and informative. Thank you so much for sharing your awesome knowledge with us. Take care, Steve. 👍👍

Fabulous welldone we are in middle of bathroom makeover and now I know how to box in thankyou.

best video to cover pipes in ceilings and floor-thank you !!

All I am saying this guy deserve more likes

Thanks fella, you have given me the confidence to box my cloakroom pipes in - bravo!

"But I can check the strength if you like" *dances on top of plasterboard* That's the confidence you have if you're doing a decent job👍🏻

I was taught to make boxing removable so access needs no tears from the customer. We would tile the boxing and then fix it with a thin bead of silicon. Water proof, strong and removed in seconds if needed.

Fantastic video, I literally just boxed in a pipe, with plasterboard for £5... grabbed some ‘damaged’ sheets from the shop.

I follow your channel because you always have real life scenarios unlike some channels that are always in a "studio" with perfect access and surrounds.

I was just about to say the plasterboard version would not be very strong - then you proved me totally wrong. What the hell do I know! Thanks for the video.

Top man, very competent makes it look simple and easy. Thanks.

Superb! Myslalem zeby dac jeden wiecej baton pmiedzy gornym a dolnym coverem ale zeczywiscie one spoczna jeden na drugim i osczedam w ten sposob sporo materialu, tak samo nie potrzeba wtedy zebrowania pomiedzy, jeszcze raz superb! Good job!

Polish builder.good job.well done..waiting for more.

Well that looks easy enough.

that was just what i was looking for no bullshit just straight to it an made everything look so obvious and easy

Thank you for showing us how to do this.

Love the little dance at the end

Many thanks your Video is just what I was looking for ! You make it look easy

bravo , you just saved me lot of money !!!! top man

Subscribed just for the channel name - excellent

Good man.Thnx very much Sir

Straightforward how-to although I think I’d prefer MRMDF to plywood but minor point really

Great video, but id put supports between the two tops battons, if that moves your plaster will crack.

Thank you for taking the time to do this video. Great video :)

Lovely work that is mate!!!

Thanks so much , I have just tried boxing pipes which go around the top of my walls in a small hallway 😳4 pipes 2 for central heating and 2 for hot and cold water . So I thought polystyrene would be good idea as I have loads cut it all 😳what a mess lol, then tried to glue it all together ... apparently you need a type of glu for this that I don't have 😤. So I'm doing plan B tomorrow your way

Easily explained. What are you using to fix the batton to the back wall?? Wall plug is it??

Thanks for this video - nice and clear. i have some boxing-in to do with a vertical pipe in the corner of my kitchen.

Brilliant mate... I'm new to all this but these videos are great.....Many thanks !!!

Nicely done but I would probably go with 18mm battens and 12mm marine grade play to make the boxed in section smaller. If the floor batten had been fixed before the waste pipe it could potentially be smaller still. Just thinking out loud, not criticising 👍

Fantastic Thanks for your great work.

Thanks, good advice and craftsmanship!

That's spot on mate, thank you! just one thing i cannot understand why 97 idiots have disliked your video I've subscribed keep up the good work.

I like how he checked for level after he put all the fixings in lol

Well Done! Really helpful. Cheers

Excellent video - thanks for sharing

Good video mate!

Love the strength check at the end ;) 💪

Great video thanks

Thank you. It does not look difficult to build on the floor but I have to do exactly this for pipe close to the ceiling: fighting against gravity.

Helpful video, and excellent channel name! Thanks.

Thanks for the video, just a question from someone with zero DIY skills looking to learn. Once you've boxed the pipes off would you place a wall frame on top of that if you wanted to make sure the wall was straight. Thanks for any advice

An excellent video and very useful - thaks

Well done great video I have now subscribed after watching your 1st video.

Great video! Helped me alot!

This video is great! THANK YOU 🙏💖

excellent video well explained

Good job, useful video thanks

Thanks great video im stuck with mine in the corner where the pipes go higher.

Dear builders/plumbers - why do you save pennies on pipe insulation?

ty ! exactly what I needed , great stuff mate !

Fantastic video

Note: he said you can tile on ply after applying PVA. You should NEVER tile on PVA, but this is outside the scope of the video.

Great job! Wish you were near me.

I got the same DBZ hoodie with goku's symbol 💪

What is the drill size you're putting into the wooden plank?

1:34 , I tried this and drilled right through my knee-cap !

Well done mate

Good video thanks. If I built something like this but in a garage where boiler / radiator pipes and potentially some cooker cable were, would you say it's okay to fill the voids with insulation? If so what type? Thanks.

hi great vid. any chance you can do a vid on boxing a pipe going up and down a wall please? many thanks

Hi Great Vid, going to give it a go this weekend. Any reason you used the nails in the batons rather than screws and plugs, just curious how you would take them off of you needed to?

Really useful video thank you

Next step - how to hide that mdf plywood step :)

Thank you for your help god bless

what screws are you hammering in at the start?, do they not need to be screwed in?, also what is the cheapest method of the 2?

Helpful tips...thanks

Thank you

Hi could u send me a list of everything u used please i need to do this in my downstairs loo the pipes are on the wall though not on floor like your video please thank you

Thanks 👍

Technique wise well done and clearly explained but if the top wall batten was the full width of the box there would be no need for extra ply on top. The floor batten looks to be set out twice the width of the waste pipe, wasting space. I would never box pipes in with plasterboard at floor level and at aprox 150mm high 6mm ply would be perfectly strong enough, 18mm is way over the top.

nice video

excellent video, thank you.

loved the video.

What are those you hammered into wood on wall, and would you use wall plugs if attaching to concrete floor?

I want to know what drill you are using with the helpful light.

Yes good advice on this video

Thank you. I've subscribed as well.. A great video and a great channel.

Grear video thanks!!!

I've got ugly pipes on display. However my questions are (a) is there a way the screws can hidden from the final finish so it looks neat? (B) you will see the joins between adjacent planks of wood. Are you better cutting them the whole length of the pipes to be boxed?

Good video thank you

Good job

Good video,, thanks

Nice job

Great video

If i do a miter fold for the plasterboard do i need to place a supporting wood too inside?

What does one do at the corners and where the pipes separate from parallel?

Nice one love the vids

Super

Silly question, do you have to screw hammer fixings or is that it

Thank you bro

Good job thank u

I have a question when u measure the first panel are you measuring up to the baton on the wall or up to the pipes please explain
